| Thiel Owners If Jim was still alive we would have had CS 7.3s, if i recall it was in his plans. | |
| Gryphon vs. McIntosh Mcintosh is midfi compared to Gryphon it's as simple as that.Gryphon can only be compared to CH Precision, Boulder, Audionet, Robert Koda, Dan d'Agostino, Pilium, Soulution, Nagra, Spectral, Technical Brain, Dartzeel and a couple of others. | |
| Thiel Owners @yyzsantabarbara I'm also going to get a R2R DAC and the one on my shortlist for my Thiel rig is the Aqua Formula xHD v2.Check out Totaldac they make very analogue sounding R2R Dacs too. | |
| Thiel Owners I was looking at Hegel H590, would be interesting to try this one out with 3.7s.It also has a buildt in DAC for people who want a very simple rig. | |
| Gryphon Diablo 250 vs Hegel390 Hegel has a very good price to performance ratio.For someone with low budget and who wants to buy new, Hegel is a great choice. | |

| Amp upgrade for Thiel CS 3.7 3.7s are not made for very large rooms, you loose all the bass.People with very large rooms will look at more suitable speakers for this size room. | |
| Amp upgrade for Thiel CS 3.7 No you don't need more power, taste is another thing. | |
| Gryphon Diablo 250 vs Hegel390 Hegel is nowhere near Gryphon quality. Hegel is midfi compared to Gryphon. | |
| Amp upgrade for Thiel CS 3.7 I've gone through most amps available on the market in the past few years and i came to the conclusion that the best one of them all for Thiel CS 3.7s is the Gryphon Diablo 300 by a wide margin.For any future Thiel CS 3.7 owner i've done the job f... |
